To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, Ennns'r Soon, a 'citizenof the United States, residing at Hudf son, in the county of Middlesex,Common wealth of Massachusetts, have invented an lm rovement in VVraping Mechanism, of which the following d scription, in connection withthe accompanying drawings, is a specification, like numerals on thedrawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to wrapping mechanism, and more especiallyrelates to mechanism for wrapping magazines 01' books.

In order that the principles of the inven- 'tion may be fullyunderstood, I have disclosed a single type or embodimentthereof in theaccompanying drawings, wherein-- Figure 1 is a vertical, longitudinalsection taken upon the broken line 1-1 of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a plan viewof the mechanism, but broken away at opposite sides. Fig. '3 isatransverse, vertical section upon tirebroken line 3--3 of Fig. 2; Fig.4 is a side elevation of the mechanism shown in F ig. 2 from'the lefthand side thereof viewing said figure; Fig: 5' is a plan view of thecarrier and parts directly associated therewith; Fig. 6 is a central,vertical, longitudinal section of a. portion of the means for operating,the tray; Fig. 7 is a detail, in vertical section, of the cam andconnected parts for controlof the conveyer arm; and, Fig. 8 is a detailof the cam and associated parts for operatin the tray.

Referring more particular y to the single type or embodiment of theinvention herein represented, the framing of the machine, which may beof any material, construction and form, is indicated at 1 in each of thefigures. Mounted between the uprights of said framing, as most clearlyindicated in- Figs. 1, 3 and 4, is a main shaft 2-having thereon F ig.3) a pulley 3, by which power any suitable source. Likewise mounted insaid framing (Figs/1' and 3) is a countershaft 4, herein shown asparallel with theshaft 2 and having thereon, a gear 5 meshing with anddriven by the gear 6 upon the main drive shaft 2. It is, apparent thatthe wrapper may be delivered to the mechanism by hand or otherwise.Preferably, mechanism is employed to deliver the wrappers in sectionfrom a continuous web, separating the web into' rope: lengths as thematerial, idiom "Whi fe anyi Specification of Letters Patent.Application filed October 21,

desired. mechanism may be employed, forthis pur ose 1 herein mount uponthe countersha t4 (see Fig. 3) a beveled gear 7 meshing with a similargear 5 upon a substantially vertical shaft 9 mounted in suitable hangersin the main frame and having near the upper end thereof a beveled gear'10 meshing with a similar gear 11 upon a stud 12, suitabl mounted inthe framing of the machine an having thereon a gear 13 meshing with anddriving a similar gear 14 upon a shaft 15 mounted in the framing of themachine.

As more clearly represented in Fig. -1, *in suitable hangers in theframing of the machine'is mounted a roll of paper 16, and upon theshafts 12 and 15 respectively are mounted drums l7 and 18 positivelydriven by the gearing described and adapted in their rotation to drawthe 'aperat a proper rate of speed from the re 16. Any suitable meansmay be employ to separate the web of paper into proper len llS to serveas wrappers. Herein one of t e drums as 17 is represented as providedwith a longitudinal roove 19 upon the periphery there of and the otherdrum with a co-acting knife 20, whereby during each rotation of saiddrums a length of web to serve as. a wrapper is severed from the leadingend of the web.

At the delivery side of said rolls 17 and 18 is mounted a guide way 21,herein shown as downwardly inclined. Mounted below and above the upperface of said guideway are small drums 22, 23, 24 and 25 arrangedin pairsand adapted to receive thereon belts 26 and 27, the adjacent faceswhereof are disposed substantially in the plane of the upper face of theguide way 21 to receive therebetween the severed wrapper and to deliverthe same in the direction of the arrow onto the working table. v

The working table is indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 at 28. Such table may beof any suitable construction, but preferably is horidisposed to providea flat receiving surface, upon which the wrapper is delivered from theguide way 21. The wrapper is delivered. onto said table so that theforward or leading edge of the wrapper extends beyond the line of thecorresponding edge of the magazine or book or other article to bewrapped. In the mechanism herein repre seated and viewing Fig. 1, theleading ed e of the wrapper may extend to about t e that the article toios be wrapped may be positioned upon the wrapper in any suitablemanner, either by hand or otherwise. Assuming the mechuu ism to beemployed to wrap a. magazine and that a. magazine has been positionedupon the wrapper fed to the opcruting tuhhso that the leading edge ofthe wrapper r; tends beyond the corresponding edge of the magazine,which edge, in this type of the in vention, is one of th free edgesthereof, .i apply such leadingedge of the wrapper to the free edge ofthe mugazinc. While this may be done in various ways, 1 herein septirntethe leaves: of the magazine to a suitable extent and place between suchseparated leaves such leading wrapper edge, thereutter permitting themagazine to close. It is up,

a-rent that this result may be accomplished in many ways. Herein for thepurpose I employ a working head 30 and mount the same for horizontalreciprocation (see Figs. 1 and 2) in suitable guide ways 31 formed uponthe inner faces of the webs U2 and 33 of the framing, shown most clearlyin Fig. 2. Also mounted for reciprocation upon the main framing is anauxiliary carrier 3 guided upon ways formed upon the outer faces Of'tln:webs 32 and 325 of the framing, said auxil ury carrier being mounted, asshown also in Fig. 1, above the working head but adapted to reciprocatein a path parallel therewith. Mounted upon the auxiliary carrier (seeFigs. 1 and 2) a rock arm 85 carrying thereon a forwardly extendedmagazine leaf opener 256, which, as shown in Fig. 2, is a relativelynarrow, sharply pointed blade secured at its base to an arm 37 havingupon its under face an angular portion 38 (see Fig. 1). Fast upon andupstandin from the rock shaft 35 is an arm 39. In t e forward movementof the working head 30, the leading face 40 thereof engages at its upperedge the angular portion 38 of the opener, so that in the furtherforward movement of said working head the auxiliary carrier is forwardlymoved and the point of the opener is inserted be tween the pages of thema azine.

Pivotally mounted in suitziible uprights, as

indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, is a rock shaft 41:-

hsving mounted thereon a pair of wrapper end positioning members 42 and43, extend ing first downwardly, and then forwardly in a. horizontaldirection from said rock shaft. In the normal position of said shaft 41,the members 42 and 43 lie in a. horizontal plane beneath the plane ofthe wrapper when ositioned u on the operating table with t e outer oreadin ends thereof beneath the leading 01' free edge of the wrapper, sothat when said'memhers are swun upwardly, by r'eason of the partialrotation of said rock shaft 41, the free edge of the wrapper is. lifted.While any suitable means may beemployed to rock the shalt "ll, hereinfor the pur )ose' I provide upon the working head (see Figs. 1 and 2) ulutrh 1| pivoted at 45 and normally held by spiiug -10 in a. positionnormal to the putli of increment. of the working head. Huiil lutrh, asrepresented most clearly in Fig. l, is prorided with an inclined head44. Huid hitch, as represented in Fig. 'l, is tttlttliltttl in themovement of the working head toward the magazine to move under the rorltshaft 4-1 and to contort with the douuiwurdly extending portion 34, andupon u continuation of such movement of the working head to rock saidshaft so as to lift the tree edge of the wrapper, as stated. During thecontinued movement of the working head 30 toward the magazine, the armkit) of the rock shaft engages an upstanding lug 4-7 (see Fig. 1) uponthe frame of the nuichine, the shaft 35 being thereby rocked, thuslifting the opener 3G and opening the ma azine. The timing of the partsis such tint the lifting of the opener 36 preferably sli htly precedesor is simultaneous with the lifting of the free edge of the wrapper bythe members 42 and t3, the upstanding ed ed the wrapper being as shownpreferu 1y of greater height than the thickness of the magazine.Projecting forwardly from the workin head 30 (see Fig. 2) and uponoppositesldesof the o ener 36 are wrapper inserters 48 and it). Muchinserters terminate short of the forward ed e of the opener andpreferably occupy a plane substantially that occupied by the opener whenit is inserted into the l!ltl.';k\ZlIl8. Upon the continued movement ofthe working head toward the m g r the opener having been swung u wardlyand carrying With'it a portion of t e pages of the magazine, the wrapperinserters 48 and 4t) engage the upstanding ed e of the wrapper, and .intheir continue onward movement insert the same between the 16flPFl-VESiOf the magazipe 'lheejf at men the arm 3 9 gftlriocker'3h wit telug 47 pftheffi nie of the machine results in the upward swingin of theopener 36, as already stated, 8111f also in the disengagement of suidopener from the working head by reason of the fact that the angularportion 38 of said opener is lifted above the upper 41 1', of the o g Vward portion of the guide way 21. The described onward movement of theworking head 30 pushes the magazine and the wrap er which underlies themagazine into said t roat. In order that the wrapper may lie-drawn tautto the magazine, I provide any suitable mechanism to engage the rear endof the wrapper to draw upon the same or prevent too free movement of thewrap per. For the purpose, in this embodiment of the invention, employ(see Fig. 1) a stretcher. roll :71 mounted upon an arm of a bell'crtanklever 52, the o osite arm whereof isprovided with a rol '53 to engage atthe proper time a cam 54 formed upon a disk 55 mounted upon a shaft 56suitably mounted in hearings in the frame of the machine. A spring 57connected to the loweir arm of the bell crank lever tends to draw theroll 53 mounted upon said arm toward the shaft 56, so that normally thestretcher roll 51 contacts with the up or face of the lower or forwardportion 0 the guide way 21. The timing of the. mrts is such that beforethe forward edge of a wrapper that is being ed into position by thebelts 26 and 27 reaches said roll, the latter is lifted from the guideway 21 by the engagement of the cam 54 with the roll 53, the stretcherroll 51 remaining elevated until the wrapper has been positioned toreceive t e magazine, after which the said roll is permitted to descendand engages the upper face of the wrapper with suflicient force toimpart tension thereto and to render 'ttaut as the magazine is pushedinto the'dgil'ivery throat 710. as above stated.

Fast upon the shaft 56 is mounted (Fig. 1) a magazine receiver 58. Whilesuch re ceiver may be of any suitable construction so as to receive anydesired number of magazines, preferably I provide the same with aplurality of pockets and impart a motion thereto referably intermittent.so as to bring said pockets in succession into alinement with thedelivery throat 50, so that upon the continued movement of the workinghead 30 a magazine may be inserted into a pocket of the receiver. In thepreferred embodiment of the invention, I provide the receiver with twopockets 59 and I 60, the inner side walls 61 and 62 whereof mav besolid. The bottom 63 of each pocket is. iowever, formed of spaced websextending from the solid side walls 61 and 62 respectively, the outerside walls 64 and 65 of said pockets being formed as continuations ofsuch spaced webs and lying preferably in parallelism with the inner sidewalls 61 and 62. It is apparent that the outer side .Wulls 64 and 65 ofthe pockets may be unbroken or may merely form oontinuations of thespaced webs 63. If desired, the webs 63 and walls (54 and co may be ofsome material that is sufficiently resilient to permit the yielding ofsaid outer walls during the insertion of the magazine, so that themagezines may be snugly received within the pockets. Preferably theleading edges of the walls of the pockets 59 and 60 are outwardlyflared, as represented at 66.

In the present embodiment of my invention, I apply) an adhesive to thewrapper, and pre era ly to the rearend thereof. While the adhesive maybe applied to the wrapper in any suitable manner and at any desiredtime, I herein apply the same to such endof the wrapper after thepassage of the a magazine through the throat 50 when the magazine iswholly inserted in a pocket of the receiver. In order to accomp ish suchresult. I provide (see Fig. 1) a paste tank 67 and mount therein a roll68 driven by a belt (59 from the shaft 4. If desired, I may provide adoctor roll 70 contacting with the paste roll 68. Pivoted upon the frameof the machine, as indicated at 71 (see dotted lines Fig. 1), are levers72 (see Fig. 3), the lower ends whereof are provided with rolls 73, oneof which engages a cam way 7 1 in the cam 75 and the other of whichengages a similar cam way in the gear 5. The upper free end 71 of saidlevers are connected (see Fig. l) to links 76, provided upon theopposite ends whereof is roll 77 mounted upon links 77' (see dottedlines Fig. l) suitably secured in the frame of the machine. 'The roll 77is adapted to en age with the paste roll 68 and intermittent y to belifted therefrom and to be brought into engagement with the under faceof the rear en of the wrapper extending from that edge of the magaz nethat receives the leading edge of the wrapper. Such engagement of thepaste roll with the wrapper takes place as such edge passes beneath theunder face of the uide way 21 forming the throat 50, said und er face ofthe giiide way forming a backing or abutment for such portion of thewrapper as it is drawn past the paste H0 roll 77 during the finalportion of the forward movement of the working face 30.

Any suitable means may be employed in termittently to rotate thereceiver 58. Herein for the purpose I provide (see Fi 1) a 15 gear 78fast upon the shaft 56 and raving at diametrically opposed pointscircumferenlially enlarged teeth 79. Fast upon the shaft 4 is mounted agear 80 having thereon a series of teeth 81 occupying but a portion ofthe periphery of the gear. During the rotation of said gear 80, theteeth 81 thereof engage the teeth of the gear 78 and impart a movementof semi-rotation thereto, such movement terminating with the engagementof one of the teeth 79 with a. portion of the periphery of the gear 80unprovided with teeth... V

The timing of the parts is such that the gear 78 is held stationary whenone of the indicated in Fig. 1, the receiver remaining stationary untilthe magazine has been fully inserted in the pocket 59 thereof. Therenponthe teeth of the gear 80 reengage the teeth of the gear 78 and impart afurther movement of semi-rotation to the-receiver,

thereby bringing the filled pocket intothe position occupied by thelower pocket shown in Fig. 1, whereupon the teeth of the gears 80 and 78become disengaged, and the receiver remains stationary until themagazine has been ejected from the lower pocket and another magazine hasbeen inserted in the pocket next brought into alinement with theoperating table.

Any suitable means may be employed to eject the magazine from a filledpocket. To simplify the construction of parts, I prefer to employ acommon means for operating the working head and the ejector, whichlatter, in the present type of the invention, is indicated (see Fig. 1)at 82, being mounted for horizontal reciprocation in suitable guide ways83 formed in the framing of the machine. Mounted upon a stud 84 in theframing of the machine is a bell crank lever, the shorter, lower arm 85whereof is pro vided with a roll 86 adapted to engage a cam path 87formed in a cam 88 fast upon the countershaft 2. the bell crank lever issuitably connected by a pin and slot connection 90 with an upstandingportion or web 91 projecting from the up er face of the ejector 82. Therotation of the shaft 2 by reason of. the engagement of the roll 86 withthe cam path 87 imparts a horizontal reciprocation to the ejector 82,whereby the latter is brought into engagement with the magazine when thefilled ocket thereof is brought into the ath of suc 1 ejector. Theleading edge 92 o the ejector is formed of spaced members or fingersadapted to enter between the spaced webs of the pockets of the receiverto eject the magazine therefrom.

In the present embodiment of the invention, the construction andlocation of the ejector and the working head and the functions of saidarts are such that preferably 1 impart a differential movement to saidmembers. Herein. the movement of the ejector. This result may beaccomplished in any desired manner. For the purpose, I have provided,upon the framing of the machine and above the ejector, a stationarilymounted horizontal rack or racks 93, and upon a web 94 uprising from therear-of the ejector 82, I provide a bearing to receive a short shaft 95having thereon a pinion or pi nions 96 to engage said rack or racks, andupon the lower face of the.working head 30 I provide a rack or racks 97to mesh with said pinion ocpinionsi' The other arm 89 of From thedescribed construction, it will be apparent that, durin either movementof reciprocation of the e ector 82, the pinion or pinions 96 are movedbodily with said ejector at the same speed and also they rotate upontheir axes by reason of their engagement with the stationary rack,thereby imparting movement to the working head at a. speed double thatof the ejector 82. The rear pasted edge of the wrapper may be foldeddown upon the body thereof'in any suitable manner at the time desired.l-{ercin for the purpose, I provide (Fig. l) a pair of loose rolls 98and 99. The lower roll 98 is mountcd in stationary bearings'to rotate inthe plane of the face of the ma azine as; it is ejected from the pocket60. The upper roll 90 is mounted upon the lower end of a. lever 100pivoted upon the framing of the ma chine at 101 and having intermediateits end a roll 102 adapted to engage a cam path 103 in the face of a cam10 mounted upon the shaft 50. The form of the cam path 103 is such that,during the rotation of the receiver 58, the roll 99 is moved outwardlyor to the right, viewing Fig. 1, thereby to re move the same from thepath of rotation of the receiver. At the termination of each movement ofsemi-rotation of the receiver, such roll is returned to its innerposition, so that the lower portion of the periphery thereof may engagethe Wrapped magazine as the same is ejected from the filled pocket 60.It will be apparent from the foregoing description that when a filledpocket 18, by the semi-rotation of the receiver 58, moved from the upperto the lower position, the protruding rear pasted end of the wrapperextends from the pocket as indicated at 105, in Fig. 1, so that when theroll 99 is permitted to move inwardly it is brought into engagement orjuxtaposition to said end 105. As the magazine is ejected fem thepocket, the said end 105 of the wrapper passes beneath the roll 99 andis thereby folded down against the body of the wrapper and pastedthereto. The magazine, when ejected from a pocket of the receiver, fallsupon an inclined way 106, and may be discharged into any suitablereceptacle.

has far, reference has been made to the placing of a magazine upon awrapper when the latter is ositioned upon the operating table 28. It isapparent that the magazines or other articles that are to be wrapped mabe placed by hand upon such Wrapper. prefer, however, to employmechanism operating automatically so to osition the ma azine or otherarticle. iile any suita le mechanism may be employed for the purpose, Ihave herein represented (see Figs. 1, 3 andb) a pair of endless chains107 cop; stituting a carrier, said chains being mounted upon suitabledrums or gears 108 and 109 fast upon shafts 110 and 111 suitably mount-I80 ml in lln' [raining ol' the maulinw.

ViewingFigs. 2, 8 and 5, the magazines are preferably stacked upon the variousshelves 115 with the backs thereof ve er arm 144.

ounted in suitable guide ways in the framing of the machine (see Figs.1, 2 and 6) is a vertical rack 149, with which meshes a pinion 150 fastupon a horizontally vdisposed shaft 151 (see Figs. 3nd 6). Pivotallyconnected to the rack 149 (see Fig. 1) is a link 152, to the lower armwhereofis pivotally connected an arm 153 of --a bell crank lever pivotedall-15 4 in the framing of the machine, the opposit arm of said leverhaving thereon a roll 156 adapted to engage a cam path 157 in a cammounted on the main drive shaft 2, wh ijh i'y, duringthe rotation ofsaid shaft, a r ovement of vertical reciprocation is im arts to saidrack, thereby to rotate the shaft l'lil at ,ail

ol' the rain path 157.

As shown inosl clearly in Fig. 3, there extends from the shaft 151 anarm 159 loosely connected thereto and having formed with or mounted uponthe outer portion thereof a tray ltitl (see also Fig. 2), the innerportion whereof is provided with an upstanding edge ltiii If dcsirtal,the edge portions of the training may he provided, as shown in l igi s,2 and 5, with guide ways llifland Hill emendin at right inigles to the niistiiinling edge 10' of the tray, so as to guideitho movement of theunrgi-izine or other article when it is pushed into the tray by theconveyor arm 14.4. Splined upon the shaft 151, as represented in Fig. 3,is an ii-centric 161, surrounding which is an ecccnlric strap 165 havingprojecting there from an lll'lll 1611, the outer end whereof ispivotally (miner-led at 107 to an angular member 1138, constituting themovable u)- Fulfilling edge of the tray. Preferably the arm 166 is madein two parts, the inner member thereof being tubular to receive foryielding, sliding movement therein the men) her 1139, said members beingconnected by a spiral spring 170 mounted between a sl'iouldor 171 formedupon the member 166, and a pin 172 mounted upon the tubular member andpassing through longitudinal slots in the member 169. Fast upon theshaft 151 (see Fig. 3) is a cam 1T3, herein formed as a flange extendingsubstantially half way about the shaft 151 to provide shoulders 174 and175. From the described peration of parts, it will be apparent that thetopmost magazine or other; article, having lir-en pushed from the stack,falls upon the bottom of the tray 160, and that upon the movementof theshaft 151elockwise or in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig 3, theeccentric 164 acts to move inward or to the right the tray edge 162 iuntil the same engages the edge of the magazine or other article, suchmovement of the eccentric continuing until the spring 170 yields,whereby the n'iagazine is gripped with a yielding pressure Upon suchdescribed movement of the shaft-1:1 1, the shoulder 174 of the cam 173moving (ilockwise viewing Fig. 3, 611- gzagcs the under portion of thearm 159, whereupon, duringthe continued movement of said shaft 151, thetray 161 is lifted by said shoulder, the eccentric 164 continuing tohold the edge 1G8 gripped against the ad jaceut edge of the tray. Themovement of ti dro upon the wrapper upon the operat- Inesinuch as in thepresent type of the invention the tray 160 is loosely mounted upon theshaft 151, I provide means to prevent overmovement of the tray asthesame is in' verted. It is apparent that any suitable mechanism mayheemployed for the purpose. H Herein and as most clearly represented inFigs. 2 and 6, I form upohithe arm 159 of the tray a lug 176, havingmeans to engage a friction face 177 formed upon a portion of theframing. Preferably, in the In 176 is mounted an adjusting screw 178, wereby the desired .d" cc of friction may be secured against the e 117,so that during the downward movement of the tray to deposit themagazineor other article upon the win per the said tray may not moveahead 0 the shoulder 174 of the cam 173. The eontoufiof ther eem path157 and the timing of the parts are such that at the point of extremedownwiird movement of the rack 149. the tray assumes its lowest invertedposition. The movement of the rack then being reversed, the shaft 151rotates centra-clockwise'viewing Fig. 3, until the shoulder 175 engagesthe upper face of the arm 15!), further movement of the shaft 151 insaid directioncompelling the return of the tray into position to receivetherein another magazine, the shape of the eccentric 164 beingsuch thatthe movable edge 168 is removed fromthe tray to permit the rendyinsertion of another magazine thereinto. cushioned by the screw 178bearing against the friction face 177.
